The candidates for State offi ces are making their daily grinds. It is a sort of a monot onous hum-drum affair with the probable exception of the con test for Governor. Candidate Blease has had the thing pretty much to himself. The Gover nor, after the first meeting, went back to the work in his office and did not go out again until the campaigners reached Barn well. A great many ot Gover nor Ansel's friends are doubting the wisdom of his not attending all of the meetings. It has been the custom to attend them and his not doing so gives the oppo sition a popular club to wield: then, there are many others who contend there is no necessity for a governor to quit the duty he has sworn to perform to go run ning about the State seeking totes for re-election. If his rec ord is not good enough to rely upon, then he should lose, and if it is, he has nothing to fear, as the people will stand by a true and faithful servant. Candidate Blease is a good stump speaker, a fine politician. He knows exactly how to please an audience, and from' the mea gre reports of the meetings he has evidently pleased the few at tending the meetings. They ap plaud his thrusts at Governor Ansel's administration and in Charleston, Blease was the pop ular idol. Senator Blease lays much stress on an editorial from The News and Courier which showed it was not the custom to give a governor a second term, but not withstanding this high author ity, we beg to differ and claim that since 1876 no elected gov ernor was defeated for re-elec tion, every man elected by the people to that high office was re elected for a second term, if he was a candidate. Blease intimates that Ansel did not vote to give Evans a .second term: of course he did not. Evans was elected gover nor to succeed Tillman and then when his term as governor was about to expire he became a can didate for United Senator, but was prevented from committing this crime against the country by the late Joseph H. Earle and he has been trying to break into the Senate ever since, but every time he has been sat down upon: defeated by McLaurin and by Latimer, and we believe he will be defeated again. The people recognize there are others in this State besides the Garys. The question for the voters tc consider, has Governor Anse] done his duty, and does duty faithfully performed entitle a man to the people's endorse ment? It must be remembered the governor does not make the laws, he executes them: neither does the governor make appro priations or levy taxes-that is the function of the legislature. The governor is under oath tc enforce the laws that are upon the statute books. Has Gover nor Ansel endeavored to faith fully enforce the law? What has made him so unpopular with the blind tiger element in Charles ton and Columbia? Was it be cause be granted immunity .tc those engaged in the illicit liqunor traffic? THE TIMES did not nor does it now -approve of the drastic in junction procedure, we cannot endorse any proposition which in its effect deprives citizens of the right of trial by jury, but conditions alter things very much, and if the conditions of lawlessness are such that the o dinary machinery of the law is ineffective, the question arises, what is to be done, let lawless ness go unchecked or resort to extraordinary measures to ac complish the enforcement of law? Governor Till man has fre quently boasted of "making Charleston dry as a powder horn." but he was sadly mistak en, the lawless element laughed at his armed constabulary and boasted themselves of buying them up as fast as they reached the city. Governor Evans did the extraordinary by taking away the right of local govern ment and forcing a metropolitan police system, which was as farcical as the Winchester-rifie armed constables; theFlilliet sale went on. The succeeding gover nors endeavored to put a stop to the liquor traffic, and none succeeded then,and will not even under the injunction system. There is absolutely no enforce ment of a law which is obnoxious to the people of the community. whether it be Charleston or Greenville. Governor Ansel has done his best, and has accomn plished more in this direction than any of his predecessors. Our personal r-elations with the Senator from Newberry have always been pleasant, and to his credit we will say he is trune to hi frinds We hare not alwas igree 1 with hii. either in the Senate and elsewhere, but at the sametime we regard him a man Df splendid ability, one of the best parlimentarians in the State and a man who has the courage o) his convictions, and he will poll a large vote in the coming primary.

Every headache sufferer, every man, woman or child with any kidney trouble will find profit in the reading. C. L. McElveen, living on S. Church St., Manning, S. C., says: "Doan's Kid ney pills in my case proved to be the best kidney remedy I ever used. I had trouble with my kidneys for sometime. The secretions were too frequent in action, and caused me to arise many times during the night. They also con tained a brick dust sedimont when al lowed to stand. At times my back would get very lame and it hurt me severely to stoop or lift anything. I did not rest well at night, owing to the aches and pains and the frequent action of the kidneys also disturbed me. I finally read about Doan's Kidney Pills, pro cured them and they acted just as rep resented. Since I used them the back aches have not troubled me, the lame ness has vanished and I do not have to arise during the night. I can highly recommend Doan's Kidney Pills and acknowledge the benefits derived fro'n their use at every opportunity." For sale. by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

R. C. WELLS, (SEAL.) Notary Public for S. C. ESTABLISHED Twenty-Five Years Ago Clifferd Seminaro, locaited at Union, S. C., was established twenty-five years ago. The institution has, through all these years, continued without intcr -uption, and contributed its share to th' education of the young ladies of South Carolina. The number of pupils is limited for it, is the aim of the management that each student have the individual atten tion and personal oversight so assential to the best training. Thoroughness in training and the building of character are aimed at and not so much the mere showiness of superficial polish. The school is thor oughly Christian and the atmosphere of the home prevails. If you are seek ig the best training for your daughter you cannot do better than to send to Clifford Seminary. Among other very rttractive features is the fact that this school is located in the Piedmont region of South Caro lina and the climate is as good as can be found anywhere. Write for cata-f logue.
